Mother Said...
My mother used to say,
'Always guard your heart,
And never let a random boy
Ever tear it apart.
You've got to learn when it's time
To simply walk away,
Or when it's time to say 'I'm sorry'
And choose to truly stay".
My mother used to tell me
She could always seem to see
Who was worth my time
And who wasn't right for me.
She told me when I met you,
"Baby, you stay far away.
Don't let that boy take your heart
And lead it hopelessly astray."
I stubbornly ignored her
And trained all my focus on you
Believing deep down in my heart
You really did love me too.
I made up excuses
For each wrong thing done
And quietly assured myself
"Don't worry...he's the one"
It wasn't until I cursed your name
After you split my heart in two
I should have listened to my mother
And stayed the hell away from you.
